I had the shock out (changed them) tie rod off (did wheel bearings and ball joints too) stood on the rotor and lifted up on the wheel well, still had 3" above mount. Though I only weigh 145lbs so that may have something to do with it.
I have the 844S and I'll warn you, unless your rear is sagging it will not level your truck. Also I think you have the same front suspension as me (94 reg cab long bed) and the 844S does not fit properly in the seat. It's too big. It works just fine, but every shop you go too to get the camber adjusted will laugh at you and tell you that your spring is in upside down. I'll get pictures to show you what I mean after Forest Ecology class is out.
I had heard something about fitment issues on the 844S. Thanks for the heads up.
Sorry for semi-hijacking, what I was going to originally say was I got the 824 in, also put coil over shock monroe sensa track and between them I'm within 1/2-3/4" of being level. If I still had regular shocks in back I'm sure I would be level, if I let the air out of the rear shocks it sits about 1/4" lower in the back than front but with the min. of 20psi that they recommend is where I get the 1/2-3/4" level.

I had a very different outcome than you. Mine fit perfect and the alignment was not a problem. Also it lifted the front higher than the rear. Had to put a bigger block in the rear to bring it to level
Truck: 4x4, 5.8L w/ AC, auto transmission, Supercab/shortbox. Suspension Mods: Moog CC824 springs in the front. Factory 2" blocks in the rear. Wheels/tires: OEM Ford 15x7.5" polished alloys, 4" backspacing. 31x10.50r15 Falken Rocky Mountain AT tires. No rubbing. Stance: Sits within 1/4" of level measuring from the ground to the top of the fender arch. (Note: Rear looks slightly lower due to previous wheels/tires and canopy on bed)
The pattern im seeing is that the 824s seem to level MORE than the 844s, regardless of cab/motor? Maybe the 844s support more weight but it seems like maybe they compress more? Anybody else notice this?
